I might be wrong (in which case, I was staggeringly unlucky), but I think the pig needs open ground to find a truffle, too; at least, I got none at all for weeks when I had the little oinky bastards in a fully grass-covered pen, but got two immediately as soon as I scythed down half of it.

Am I right in thinking that once you've got a galaxy sword and more iridium bars than you will ever be able to use, there's no reason to ever go back down into the Skull Cave except for personal amusement? There's nothing else in particular down there that isn't just as easy to get elsewhere, right?

Does it make sense to buy a bunch of rabbits right now, or will there not be enough time for them to mature by end of Year 2? I assume community center factors into scoring. As a backup plan, visit the traveling merchant every Friday and Sunday and hope for the best -- I bought a foot for my community center from there something like two seasons before I got a single one from the coop.

MisterBibs posted:Do both chickens and cows want to go outside, eat a combo of hay and grass, and need to be fenced in, or just cows? As far as fencing goes, none of them care one way or the other -- the only reason you'd want a fence for anything other than aesthetic purposes would be if you're raising pigs, so that you can keep all the truffles within one easy-to-search area. Captain Lavender posted:What's really sticking in my craw is the Void Egg. I'm halfway through my 3rd year, and I haven't seen one at the cart or in this supposed random event. I have a theory though: I've heard that the random event is triggered when you upgrade your coop. I did that the very moment I had the resources to do it, and I filled it with livestock immediately. I'm wondering if not having an empty slot in there prevented the event. I can absolutely confirm that any eggs incubated in a coop that's already full just stay in the incubator until you finally make room for a new bird, which was unexpected but nice.

The animals have to mosey over to the grass before they can eat it -- they pretty much devour everything closest to the coop and the barn. (Which is okay, because it gives me a big bare patch of ground for the pigs to do their jobs.) As a practical matter, though, it's probably not going to be an issue. They don't have anything else they need to do but eat, so if they have to walk farther before they can, big fuckin' deal.

Grozz Nuy posted:Quick question, since the wiki is kind of unclear on it: how exactly does pigs producing truffles work? I'm closing in on finishing the community center and it's one of the last things I need, and the wiki says 'produced every morning when the pig is left outside'. Should I be leaving the barn door open overnight (which I'm currently not doing because I read it makes the goats sad) or is that unnecessary and I'm just not finding wherever the pig has dug it up? It just reached adulthood a couple days ago and is at one heart, if that matters. What I haven't seen is truffles appearing when I'm not actually hanging around my farm -- if I get out of bed and gently caress directly off to the mines or the beach and don't come back until all the animals have gone back indoors, the barnyard's empty. (Which would make sense, if pigs could dig up truffles when you weren't on the same map as them, it'd be pretty much the only thing on your farm that worked that way.)

Or does the game only register that a legendary fish has been caught on the morning of the next day? (Because I did like catching some of the other legendary fish, and wouldn't have minded the chance to get multiples of 'em.)

Yeah, I can't really disagree with either the pro-fishing or anti-fishing crowd. Depending on where you are in the process, both opinions are entirely valid. I bounced off of fishing pretty hard early on; the instructions were rudimentary to begin with, and honestly, I think I didn't even see them, so the whole minigame was just an inscrutable mess. Later on, I read about and watched some videos about it, and that got me to sit down and try it again. It was still stressful and occasionally frustrating, but less so than mining, so it was a good backup activity for a day. And then the fiberglass rod unlocked, and finally I got how fishing worked, and fishing became this fun, relaxing thing to do. I genuinely looked forward to spending an entire day fishing, which is not at all what I expected when I was handed that first fishing rod.

Solumin posted:Stardew Valley isn't all about money, but could focusing on animals be fun? Raising animals had a lot of hurry-up-and-wait going on with it: I felt slammed with a lot of different tasks running concurrently right at the beginning, and then was stuck with a lot of waiting around for the machines to finish turning the eggs and milk and truffles into something valuable. It wasn't bad, but it didn't hit the sweet spot that tending to the fields did. YMMV.

Just lay down enough grass in there at the start of a season to keep pace with their appetites, and then collect the money.

I'm honestly amazed at how massive some of the fields posted here are; holy crap, it must take you people entire days to deal with the start of a new season, let alone bringing in the harvest. I'm away from my gaming computer at the moment so I can't post a picture, but I've been really happy with the latest iteration of my farm. It's one tall 15x26 rectangle consisting of: - a junimo hut at the very top (so add a 3x2 rectangle to the top of the 15x26 like a little hat, I guess), - a 15x15 square (9 iridium sprinklers) directly below that, - two 6x3 rectangles (4 quality sprinklers) on either side of a 3x3 space (junimo hut + a 3x1 strip of paving) directly below that, - and one 15x5 rectangle (3 iridium sprinklers) at the bottom. It's only 320 crops, but only needs 5 scarecrows (2 on either side, 1 centered at the bottom); I can till and plant the whole thing easily on day 1 and ignore it for the rest of the season because everything's fully covered and automated, which suits me fine. I've also thrown in a couple of satellite beehive clusters, one just west of the second scarecrow on the west side, basically putting a quality sprinkler and 8 flowers down at the edge of what the scarecrow can cover, and then arranging 54 (on the west, 56 on the south) hives around it for easy harvesting. I have a bad habit of misclicking and pulling out flowers when I'm hurrying, so it's all set up to keep me from ever coming within 1 square of the actual flowers. I'm genuinely proud of the hives, they're probably the second most lucrative thing I've got going on my hobbyist/little-bit-of-everything farm, trailing the ancient fruit winery by a lot but coming in ahead of the truffle oil production line. The rest is fairly predictable -- a keg barn next to the greenhouse, a simple orchard, some crab pots in the little pool, a couple of tightly planted and neatly arranged fields of tapped trees, a barn and a coop butted up against each other and "fenced" with lightning rods and machines, and the southwest corner left alone because I can't be arsed to go that far to do chores. I figure if I can get everything done before noon and then gently caress off to do something else, then I've won farming.

Dr. Stab posted:They gather everything in a 17x17 square, centered around the door of the hut. It takes them real time to do it, so if you end the day early, they might not have collected everything. It's still a bargain price for them -- just having them around to deal with hops in the summer makes them worthwhile. I still wish I could hire Shane or Linus to deal with the livestock, but I'm glad to have those dopey little gumdrops enslaved to my agricultural empire.

You could always wait a day to delay the first harvest so it'll sync up with the second group, if you really want everything to be harvestable on the same day. (The crop timer resets when you harvest, not when the crop first becomes harvestable.)
